[Verse 1]
Downtown
Cardboard kingdoms on the curb
Shopping carts like broken chariots
Somebody shouting at the air again
Crosswalk
Sirens hiding in the hum
Bottle rolling by my sneakers
Glass stars scattered on the ground
[Chorus]
Denver feels dangerous and bright
Every cracked window catching light
I keep my eyes up on the sky
Old bricks, bright wires, passing by
In a city that forgets my name
I walk the lines between the flames
I’m in love with what remains
Old bricks, bright wires, in my veins
[Verse 2]
Stone saints
On the corners watching time
Faded letters on the facades
Whisper prices from another age
Cold wind
Shakes the stories from the walls
I trace history with my footsteps
Neon bleeding on the stone
[Chorus]
Denver feels dangerous and bright
Every cracked window catching light
I keep my eyes up on the sky
Old bricks, bright wires, passing by
In a city that forgets my name
I walk the lines between the flames
I’m in love with what remains
Old bricks, bright wires, in my veins
